A team that helps you go an extra SMILE

Dr. Ronald Nazon, Dental Surgeon

Dr. Nazon was born in Haiti and moved to Canada as a child. He graduated from McGill University with a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in 1987. He left his beloved Montréal, and after 5 years of associateship, he opened his first office at College and Augusta. Later on, in 1995, he opened the present office on Augusta Avenue under the name United Smiles of Kensington. The reason why he chose "united" was the belief that Toronto - being a multicultural city - is actually reflected in his very own office.

So, the dental office became multicultural and multilingual. In addition to that, his belief was always that as a dentist, it is necessary to help people in need, which led him to accept patients on social services, as well as do pro-bono work for battered women. Later on, as part of his philosophy, he and his team started dental missions to Haiti, where the services provided were performing dental hygiene, restorative, extractions as well as handing out medical supplies; clothing, toys, toothbrushes, and dental floss.

Dr. Nazon also mentored numerous students that later became dentists after shadowing him. He is fluent in 4 languages; English, French, Creole, and Spanish and has working proficiency in Portuguese. Aside from dentistry, Dr. Nazon enjoys traveling and considers Mexico to be his second home after Kensington Market. When hiring his team of doctors and staff, he has made sure that everyone in the practice always feels accepted and right at home.

"We run this place as a family, not as a corporation." and he likes to keep it that way.
